Title: Sample deposition method and system
Inventor: DOWNS ROBERT C
IPC: G01N30/84
Filed: 2007-10-12
Granted: 2009-12-10
Abstract: A method and system to deposit rapidly, accurately and efficiently liquid droplets onto a sample plate. A liquid from which the droplet is formed contains sample molecules, matrix molecules or a mixture of both sample and matrix molecules. A sample plate is positioned with respect to a position below a portion of the liquid, such as a droplet. A power supply forms an electric field between the sample plate and the liquid, which pulls the droplet to a target location on the sample plate. A plurality of capillary columns is provided for simultaneous or successive multiple depositions via application of one or more high voltage pulses between the liquid sample array and a sample plate.

Title: A forehearth
Inventor: MARK HAYTON
IPC: C21C5/46
Filed: 2007-03-22
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: A forehearth (5) for containing a volume of molten material and a direct smelting vessel (3) that includes the forehearth are disclosed. The forehearth includes a forehearth connection (15) for connecting the foreheath with a smelting chamber (4) of a smelting vessel (8) so that molten material can flow from the smelting chamber into the forehearth. The forehearth connection is formed so that there is an unrestricted line of sight through the forehearth connection from a location that is external to the forehearth. This makes it possible to unblock the forehearth connection by a mechanical drill or other equipment extending into the forehearth connection and operated externally of the forehearth.

Granted: 2012-08-16
Abstract: A graphics system for changing images on a gaming machine display, having a transition library of transition types, a graphics engine and a control means. The graphics engine applies a selected transition type from the transition library to at least one of at least two images for determining the way in which a substitution of one of the images by the other of the images occurs and initialises transition data for effecting an incremental substitution of the one image by the other image. The control means modifies the transition data such that, when the selected transition type is being effected, an incremental substitution of at least a part of the one image by the other image occurs serially until the one image has been substituted by the other image on the gaming machine display.

Title: Incontinence pant
Inventor: OSTERTAG WOLFGANG
IPC: A61F13/496
Filed: 2008-11-06
Granted: 2013-09-12
Abstract: The invention relates to an incontinence pant (2) for absorbing bodily excretions. Said incontinence pant comprises a front stomach section (4) and a rear back section (6) which are interlinked during manufacture at both side seam zones (14) to define a stomach and back strap having a waist opening (18) that is closed across the circumference of the waist and that is continuous in the cross or the waist circumferential direction (16). The pant further comprises a crotch section (8) holding an absorption body (7) and extending in the longitudinal direction between the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) and being non-detachably joined to the stomach section (4) and the back section (6). The crotch section (8) and the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) delimit leg openings (19) of the incontinence pant, the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) having a corresponding edge contour (32, 34) which deviates from the cross or waist circumferential direction (16) and extends towards a cross center axis (30) of the crotch section (8) to delimit the leg openings (19). First elasticating means (28) are provided in the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) and extend at a distance to each other and parallel in the cross or waist circumferential direction (16), thereby two-dimensionally elasticating the stomach zone (4) and the back zone (6). Second elasticating means (40, 42) are provided in a crotch-side area (22, 26) of the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) facing the leg openings (19), said elasticating means extending from the two side seam zones (14) towards a longitudinal center axis (44) of the incontinence pant and fanning out at increasing distances in a curve. The restoring force in this area (22, 26) of the stomach section (4) and the back section (6) having the fanned-out elasticating means (40, 42) decreases towards (56) the crotch section (8) when the area (22, 26) is two-dimensionally stretched.

Title: Improved methods and compositions for F-18 labeling of proteins, peptides and other molecules
Inventor: MCBRIDE WILLIAM J
IPC: A61K51/00
Filed: 2008-04-30
Granted: 2014-05-15
Abstract: The present application discloses compositions and methods of synthesis and use of F-18 labeled molecules of use, for example, in PET imaging techniques. In particular embodiments, the labeled molecules may be peptides or proteins, although other types of molecules including but not limited to aptamers, oligonucleotides and nucleic acids may be labeled and utilized for such imaging studies. In preferred embodiments, the F-18 label may be conjugated to a targeting molecule by formation of a metal complex and binding of the F-18-metal complex to a chelating moiety, such as DOTA, NOTA, DTPA, TETA or NETA. In other embodiments, the metal may first be conjugated to the chelating group and subsequently the F-18 bound to the metal. In other preferred embodiments, the F-18 labeled moiety may comprise a targetable conjugate that may be used in combination with a bispecific or multispecific antibody to target the F-18 to an antigen expressed on a cell or tissue associated with a disease, medical condition, or pathogen. Exemplary results show that F-18 labeled targetable conjugate peptides are stable in human serum at 37°C for several hours, sufficient time to perform PET imaging analysis.

Title: Global positioning system accuracy enhancement
Inventor: CAROLIPIO EDWARD
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 2009-01-06
Granted: 2012-08-16
Abstract: Methods and systems enhance the accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS) using a low earth orbiting (LEO) satellite constellation. According to embodiments described herein, GPS data is received from GPS satellites at a GPS control segment and is used to create GPS correction data to be utilized by user equipment to correct errors within the GPS data. The GPS correction data is transmitted from the GPS control segment to a LEO ground segment, where it is uplinked to the LEO satellite constellation. To account for bandwidth constraints and minimize any performance degradation of the LEO satellites, the GPS correction data is broadcast to earth on a subset of the total number of available spot beams. The subset of spot beams is selected in part according to satellite angular velocity, bandwidth constraints, and message latency estimates.

Title: Compressed tablets
Inventor: HALLISSEY MARTIN
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 2009-03-10
Granted: 2013-12-05
Abstract: The invention provides a compressed tablet including a volatile active agent, preferably menthol, within a spray-dried granule further comprising a starch carrier and, optionally, a polyol granulating agent. The compressed tablet can be a two layer tablet comprising an effervescent layer and a non-effervescent layer with the spray-dried granule incorporated into the effervescent layer. The tablets herein are useful for providing decongestant benefits. The present invention further relates to the use of starch for increasing the rate of release of menthol from a compressed tablet. The use of starch as a carrier for the volatile active agent has been found to not only improve its rate of release from the tablet compared to other carriers, such as gum arabic, or compared to not using a carrier at all, but also to impart improved smoothness to the tablet when sucked.
